Courage Under Fire
Courage is defined as the ability to conquer fear or despair; bravery. Looking at life and history courage can very well be defined a standing against opposition, when one believes in the cause that is being stood up for. Courage can also be defined as never backing down from a challenge. Courage is being able to face what you fear the most even when a person is terrified beyond belief. It means doing the right thing regardless of how others may look at you. Courage is the determination to press forward toward your goal despite what others may do or say. It is being able to stand up for what you believe in and not being afraid to let your beliefs be known. Courage is being yourself and letting your light shine in every situation you encounter. Courage is never doubting yourself just because you are faced with opposition. Focusing your mind on a goal to accomplishing that goal is having courage to sustain despite the odds. Courage is setting your fears aside to complete a task necessary to your success. Courage is being able to follow your own path and work towards your own dreams to become and achieve all that life has to offer no matter what circumstances you may be facing.

Hi Trina! Your “courage under fire” piece was delightful and well thought out. The way you added the definition of courage to the beginning of your discussion was brilliant. To conquer one’s fear, does indeed take courage. So that would make fear a good thing: Fear gives the will to fight for a belief because of the fear of change; fear brings determination to succeed because of the fear of failure; and fear sets a boundary which in order to get around fear must be conquered. So as you can see, it is because of our fears that we are forced to, either take courage and stand up or settle for defeat and stand down.
